Default Grand Canyon overflight proposal

As a long time pilot that has always loved airplanes and airplane noise,
and ALWAYS looks up when I hear an airplane overhead (and who works at
Scaled and is around planes all day, every day), the big deal is that it's
really nice to have peace and quiet sometimes, especially in a "natural"
setting. And that's only from a "people-centric" position.

"The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness - BWCA, protected as a true
American wilderness, has changed little since the glaciers melted. Canoeing,
and fishing opportunities are nearly endless on the more than 2,000 lakes
and streams found within the forest. With 1,500 miles of canoe routes,
nearly 2,200 designated campsites, and more than 1,000 lakes and streams
waiting, the BWCA boast some of the country's finest fishing for walleye,
northern pike, and smallmouth bass."
